The awards Banquet will be held on Tuesday, May 13th in the Gold Room of the Hotel Blackhawk at 7PM. The quotations which are used in this Newsletter are picked for their “thought-provoking” qualities and it is understood that interpretations will vary, because they will depend upon the individual. It has often been pointed out, that the biggest barrier in the improvement of inter-group relations, is the lack of communication. Getting “hung-up” with personal differences and idiosyncrasies would serve no useful purpose. The cause of human dignity and social justice for all men, stands far above the individual and his personal ambitions and feeling for “self”. At the same time, however, those of us who are seriously involved, are concerned with every individual. All of the University of Iowa Libraries, Iowa Women’s Archives
